Vladimir Putin has acknowledged the "extreme danger" of Wagner's mutiny over the weekend.
On Saturday, the commander of the hardened mercenary kill squad Yevgeny Prigozhin gathered 25,000 of his killers and stormed the southern city of Rostov-on-Don before announcing they planned to march on the capital just 125 miles away.
The short-lived mutiny was over within a matter of hours, but the threat was severe enough for the Kremlin to shut down Moscow, pour soldiers on to the streets and send warplanes to Rostov.
